I am having a #NAME? error in excel with the following formula
=IF([DOP_data_EN.xls]Feuil1!P2="Yes";"Oui";"Non")
Basically, what I am trying to achieve is this:
cells in this row in the original file have 2 values, either Yes or No, and
I need the formula to translate it to French automatically, in another file (I cannot just work in another sheet).
Would anyone have any guidance regarding this?
Thanks in advance,
Antoine
#NAME? error appears if there is a typo. Try to check everything: eg. are you sure the file has .xls extension, not .xlsx ?

I'm trying to use structured references with Excel tables https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/using-structured-references-with-excel-tables-f5ed2452-2337-4f71-bed3-c8ae6d2b276e.
If I copy-paste the formula like =DeptSales[[Sales Person]:[Region]] in a cell, Excel returns an "There's a problem with this formula..." error.
One solution is to choose the Sales Person that the intellisense proposes:
I don't understand why hard-coded Sales Person is not accepted. Could anyone help?
PS: the version of my Excel for Windows:
Why dont you type = in the cell where you are putting the formula, then select the target cells with your mouse? Then it should work correctly.
I dont see the calculations that you want to do? Is it count or sum or something?
Please see my example below. It works fine.
I have a lot of formulas referencing other files and it's bothering me to manually change the cell on the file path cell. He tries to connect cells, but he gives me pure text without a formula. I remember that on Excel 2010 it worked, but for 2013 I have a problem. Below is an example
Thanks
try formula "address". It helps to construct path to the needed cell within other workbook.
So not able to use vba just yet but need the syntax to reference another sheet when using excel formulas I have tried:
=if((=‘test1’!A3)> 0, ‘test1’A1, B6*F6))
Or something along those lines just a example
Any help would be appreciated, I’m sure it’s something simple I’m messing up. It’s excel 2007 btw.
Thank you!
I'm trying to change links between workbooks and usually they're fine but I'm receiving an error now that says, " you can't enter this formula because it has too many values cell references and/or names." I understand what it says but I'm not too sure how to rectify it. Can anyone help?
I had the same issue and found a workaround:
Instead of using the Edit Links function, use the Find and Replace function and replace the old file reference with the new file reference.
first my apologies for being a noob with regard to Excel Formulas - I did search and did not find an answer.
I have a spreadsheet that I am trying to modify. I got two spreadsheets from a client, who gave me a working copy and one that he had modified. There is a #REF error in the modified version. If I look at the working copy the formula looks like this.
=VLOOKUP($C$1,'Client Rates'!$A$2:J$228,5,FALSE)
As you can see it has quote marks in the table_array parameter because it does have a space in it. However I cannot enter it this way as it throws an error every time I try. Error is something like this - 'There is a problem with this formula. Not trying to type a formula? ... '
How can I enter the work sheet as a parameter with spaces in the name into the formula?
Did you try F2 to edit formula directly. Then highlight section of formula you wish to change then select the actual data you want evaluated by the formula?
Excel will create the correct string for the sheet and area reference for you.
The problem is you are trying to copy and paste directly from on workbook to another. Copying ctrl-c and pasting ctrl-v from one workbook to another may not have the desired effect. If you copy first to notepad or some other text editor and then paste from that text editor all works fine.
